Makers

So you’re a Maker. You create original designs for others to use. And you love making others designs to create all kinds of amazing things. You may also like to be paid for your work, but sometimes you worry your giving away too many of the rights to your work. You may even wonder what types of rights you have in the designs you create and the products that people print from your designs.

Sometimes times you find that someone takes your work and puts it up on the internet without your permission or any sort of payment. This gets you really mad… but you’re not entirely sure what to do about it.

You might even be a remix artist, taking existing content and putting together into a new and different design. Or at least you think it’s new and different, but the DMCA takedown notice in your in-box seems to say otherwise. And you’re not entirely sure what to do with that takedown notice.

You also may wonder if there is any content online you could use without the need to pay a fee, hire a lawyer, or fear a copyright takedown. Content you would only need to attribute and say where you got it from, now that would make your life so much easier.

In our new book, we focus on issues you may encounter from the inception of your business to the moment (that hopefully doesn’t happen) you get a nasty lawyer letter for the first time.

You’ll learn how to form your business, protect your intellectual property, and avoid problems when launching your project. Taking a few simple steps upfront to protect your business or project can save time and money down the road. Don't Panic has also been used in undergraduate & graduate classes nationwide to teach business and legal concepts to non-lawyers. Professors can request a FREE evaluation copy

FINALLY, CLEAR ANSWERS FOR LEGAL AND BUSINESS QUESTIONS WRITTEN BY LAWYERS AND DESIGNED FOR CREATIVES

After 10 years of advising creators and entrepreneurs, we’ve kept hearing about the same unsolved issue from our clients...

Creatives want to learn the legal and business rules they need to grow and protect their businesses. BUT they don’t have the resources to purchase 10 different books, read 100 different conflicting blog posts written by non-lawyers, and then spend $1,000 hiring an expensive lawyer to summarize them all before they’re understandable and usable.

That’s why we‘ve created our Resource Library. These checklists, best practice guides, and videos are made specifically for creative entrepreneurs who want the right strategies -- laid out in the right order -- to legally protect and thoughtfully grow their businesses.

We realized there needs to be an affordable and accurate place to find best practice guides written by lawyers but designed to be implemented by creators.

We are supporting the Library with ongoing updates -- which means you get new, actionable content for as long as you remain a member.

You can directly suggest new additions for the topics we’ll add. YOU as members, dictate what is added to the library based on what YOU need the most.
